This is an introduction to the traditional fiddle music of Jämtland made by one of the best folk fiddlers out there: Kjell-Erik Eriksson. Not only a gold medal holder as a "Riksspelsman", an honour that is given to a select few, but he is also a Folk Rock God with his band Hoven Droven, a long-time teacher, and an incredible musician.

Jämtland is a county in the Northern parts of Sweden, close to the Norwegian border. The majority of tunes in the course are Polskas, and most are Lapp-Nils Polskas. He was Saami and his real name was Nils Jonsson (1804-1870), he influenced the traditional fiddle music from Jämtland more than anyone else. In this course, Kjell-Erik goes through the Jämt-style of play in Polska, Waltz, Schottis, and Snoa. He teaches melodies, second voices, and how to "Kompa", to accompany tunes with chords and rhythm on the fiddle.

Get into the mood of these tunes, springing out of the rolling mountains, deep forests, rivers, and lakes of the beautiful Jämtland, Sweden.
